Our Skin, an informative article with lots of info


Skin is an indicator of your general health. Acne, wrinkles, dry or oily skin and inflammation are all signs of poor internal health, often brought on by consuming unhealthy foods and avoiding skin-healthy nutrients.
Real beauty is a reflection of real health, and real health begins deep inside each and every cell in your body. When you look good it makes you feel good and it draws your personality and your attitude also.
Nourishing and nurturing yourself correctly can bring immense and immeasurable rewards of confidence, vitality, energy, optimism and good health. Skin acts as a barrier between the outside world and the controlled environment within your body.
It protects your body from dirt, bacteria, foreign objects, ultraviolet rays and plays a vital role in regulating body temperature and body fluids and helps in the synthesis of vitamin-D. It has millions of nerve endings that help in sensing hot, cold, hard, sharp or dull sensations.
Know your Skin Type:-
All skins are not of the same types. Different people have different skin types. It is important to know your skin type, as it can help you maintain your skin health by taking the right measures to promote optimum skin care.Normally skins are of five types-
Normal skin
Oily skin
Dry skin
Combination skin and
Sensitive skin
Normal Skin
Normal skin is very balanced skin type. It is soft, smooth, and velvety and evenly textured skin with no flaky dead cells and no pores visible. Because of proper distribution of oil and moisture it becomes a balanced skin i.e. not extremely dry and not extremely oily. It is clear and free from blemishes. This is the best skin type. If you have such skin type than you are lucky because this kind of skin needs a little care in comparison with other skin type. This type of skin looks healthy, as there is a right balance between oil and moisture content. The normal skin appears smooth, clear and toned, without spots or blemishes and reflects good health.

Oily Skin
Oily skin looks thick, dull in color and glossy in outer shell. Skin becomes sticky due to over secretion of oil through oil gland that makes skin pores open, which attracts dirt and dust from the surroundings. Dirt and dust particles blocks the skin pores which are already broadly open in oily skin leads to problems like black head, white head, acne and other skin related problems. This type of skin appears greasy. That excessive oil on the skin leading to black heads, white heads, pimples and spots attracts dirt and dust.

Dry Skin
When skin is dull, patchy, spotty, and flaky especially around the eyes it is consider dry skin. Dry skin causes the sign of early aging. It produces many problems like fine lines on cheeks, under eyes and corner of mouth. Skin becomes dry when oil glands are not supplying good nourishment to the skin. If proper care is not given to the skin then it may lead to beginning of wrinkles in early age.

Combination Skin
When some area of skin is dry and some area is oily it is said combination skin. This type of skin appears dry at the cheeks and areas around the mouth and eyes and appears oily at the central panel (forehead, nose and chin). Thats why, it is known as combination skin.

Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin reacts very soon on any kind of environment change or any kind allergies, which may be caused due to actions like bleaching, makeup’s and other external applications. Sensitive skin needs a lot of care in comparison with other skin type.
